WHAT’S HIS SECRET?
St. Mark’s Gospel does not mention anything about Christ’s childhood; it
begins with his adult life. In the first chapter, St. Mark writes about what the
media would refer to as a day in Capernaum. Jesus: came to Galilee,
proclaiming the good news of God (Mk 1:14). St. Mark presents three main
components of a typical day:



He proclaimed the Gospel,
He cured the sick and those afflicted by evil spirits,
He prayed secretly to his Father.
We might say that Jesus’ life could be characterized by what he would
give and what he would receive. On that day in Capernaum, Jesus gave a
great deal: he taught in the synagogue, challenged and drove out evil spirits,
and went to Peter’s house where he cured his mother-in-law. Then a crowd
of invalids appeared, along with others who were possessed by evil spirits each begging to be cured. What a day and this was the first in Christ’s
recorded ministry! We might ask where Christ found the strength to give of
himself at all times. He found it when he was able to receive. He could not
have been so giving unless he had taken time to receive. But receive what?
Receive the desire and joy when he gave of himself, the strength to confront
misunderstanding, lack of comprehension, and hostility, and the courage
every day to continue his mission. Who would give this to him? Only his
Father whom he encountered in personal, silent and often solitary prayer.
Christ connected to God’s loving and powerful Presence, which he would
reveal.Jesus’ prayer was thanksgiving, a request for enlightenment with the
decisions he had to make, and a call for assistance. He called upon the
Father when he preached to crowds (Lk 10:21) who welcomed the Good
News about the Kingdom that God has prepared (Mk 14:23-24). He prayed
to the Father for guidance as he chose his apostles (Lk 6:12-13). Finally, he
prayed to the Father as he suffered and died (Mk 14:32-39). From the
depths of his distress, Jesus continued to pray. God always heard his pleas
(Mk 15:37). They never went unanswered.
Christ taught us how to pray and establish a dynamic and profound
relationship with our Father. Christ taught us how to give and to receive.
That was his secret!

At Mary Queen of the World Cathedral Cardinal Archbishop Msgr Christian
Lepine will preside the 7 p.m. Eucharist and offer the Sacrament of the Sick
to any people of the diocese wishing to receive it. The Sacrament if the Sick,
formerly referred to as Extreme Unction, is sometimes mistaken as only for
people who are in the last stage of life. It is, on the contrary, a sacrament
which brings spiritual support, blessing, confidence and strength to persons
of faith who are experiencing physical or other sickness. If you, family
members, or friends are able to attend either of these celebrations and wish

benefit
by
the
reception
of
